The Pyramid (Girraween National Park) |
5 Nov, 2017 |
Hard |
3.8km return 2 hrs |
|
| Scary or what! How do you climb up or down with nothing to hang on too? With two little ones, we really had to take our time on this one, as one slip and you were gone. | ||||

Underground Creek (Girraween National Park) |
5 Nov, 2017 |
Medium |
3.8km return 105 mins |
|
| Although this was fun to scramble up over the boulders, it had been very dry of late and there was little or no water running. | ||||
|
Dr Roberts Waterhole (Girraween National Park) |
5 Nov, 2017 |
Easy |
1.4km return 30 mins |
|
| Last venue on our two week bushwalking road trip and we have another five walks to tick off today, before we head home to the Sunshine Coast. Could not get very excited about this waterhole. | ||||
|
Granite Arch (Girraween National Park) |
5 Nov, 2017 |
Easy |
1.7km return 30 mins |
|
| Easy to combine this on the way back from The Pyramid, as it was all downhill! This was our last walk over a two week road trip with the grandchildren out from the Sunshine Coast to Dubbo and back. Final tally was 26 walks covering 70km. Wow. |

The Junction (Girraween National Park) |
5 Nov, 2017 |
Easy |
5.6km return 90 mins |
|
| A great little walk and because it had not rained, I was able to crisscross the creek as I wended my way down. The following morning, after a horrendous overnight thunder storm, which included a lightning strike on the Pyramid, saw the creek full and running fast with no access across from the camp site. | ||||
|
Sawn Rocks (Mount Kaputar National Park) |
4 Nov, 2017 |
Easy |
1.6km return 45 mins |
|
| This was a 'bucket' list item on our November 17 road trip and we were not disappointed. Must have spent more time climbing over and admiring the structures than it took us to walk in! | ||||
|
Mt Kaputar (Mount Kaputar National Park) |
3 Nov, 2017 |
Easy |
3km return 75 mins |
|
| As we were staying at Dawsons Spring Campground for a couple of nights, this was an easy walk out of camp to the summit of Mt Kaputar. | ||||
|
Mount Coryah (Mount Kaputar National Park) |
3 Nov, 2017 |
Medium |
4km return 2 hrs |
|
| The challenge today is to complete as many of Mount Kaputar's walks as possible. We have earmarked seven, so let's see how we do! This is probably the longest and hardest for the kids, but kept them amused by getting them to work out how old the various Grass Trees were. Great view of the Western Escarpment from the top. |

|
Euglah Rock Lookout (Mount Kaputar National Park) |
3 Nov, 2017 |
Easy |
600m return 15 mins |
|
| It's a great day when you can take four different walks, covering the north, south, east and west of Mt Kaputar and enjoy a different aspect each time. | ||||
|
The Governor (Mount Kaputar National Park) |
3 Nov, 2017 |
Easy |
2km return 1 hr |
|
| By far our best walk of the day. Just sitting on top of The Governor, with a sheer drop off in front of you and an outlook across the northern part of Mount Kaputar NP to die for. | ||||
|
Eckford Lookout (Mount Kaputar National Park) |
3 Nov, 2017 |
Easy |
1.8km return 1 hr |
|
| Could not get very excited about this one, but if it is there, then you just got to walk it. Think we are now up to walk four for the day, with four to go. | ||||
|
Lindsay Rock Tops (Mount Kaputar National Park) |
3 Nov, 2017 |
Easy |
2km return 45 mins |
|
| We really enjoyed this one, not only because of the different landscape and adding stones to the cairns, but also the view out to Mt Lindsey to the east and valleys to the south. | ||||
|
Mt Dowe (Mount Kaputar National Park) |
3 Nov, 2017 |
Easy |
1.3km return 30 mins |
|
| Not very inspiring and if we had know that there was no views from the top and only a communications tower, we would not have walk up. | ||||
|
Dawsons Spring Nature Trail (Mount Kaputar National Park) |
3 Nov, 2017 |
Easy |
1.4km return 30 mins |
|
| After trekking around the park all day, this was the 8th and final walk of the day, that circumnavigated Dawsons Creek Campground, where we were staying, before a well deserved beer. | ||||
|
Sandstone Caves (Pilliga Nature Reserve) |
2 Nov, 2017 |
Easy |
2.3km return 1 hr |
|
| This is a little hidden gem, receiving very little promotion, due to its Aboriginal heritage. But so, so worth a visit if you are in the area. | ||||
|
Burbie Canyon (Warrumbungle National Park) |
31 Oct, 2017 |
Easy |
2.4km return 1 hr |
|
| The walks are back open today, but we have to move on, so a fantastic little walk along the canyon was all that we had time for. | ||||
|
Wambelong Nature Track (Warrumbungle National Park) |
30 Oct, 2017 |
Easy |
1.3km return 45 mins |
|
| Limited to just two walks today, as a result of the closure of the main walks of safety grounds, due to severe weather conditions, this was a welcome and interesting evening walk from our campsite at Camp Blackman. | ||||
